Hello all,

Over the last few months Arthur Chapman and I have been (unfortunately rather slowly) pulling together a charter for a Citizen Science Interest Group (CSIG); this charter (available at http://bit.ly/JPQpal) was ratified on March 9.  We've had a bit of trouble pulling a wiki together, so until we get that figured out, we're using a Google Group for messages and other information.  If you'd like to join, please request an invitation through the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/group/tdwg-CSIG  

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitiate to post to the group's forums, or email me or Arthur directly.

Thanks,
